watering
Speedwell (Veronica 'White Jolanda') should be watered regularly. It needs to be kept consistently moist, not wet but not too dry. Water the plant deeply when the top few inches of soil are dry. Water it until it runs out of the bottom of the container. Typically, this happens once every 1-2 weeks. Make sure to pay attention to weather, as the plant may need more frequent watering during hot and dry spells. Watering less often during cold winters may be necessary.
sunlight
Speedwell (Veronica 'White Jolanda') grows best in full sun, meaning that it needs 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If planted in a shady area, or in poor soil, it will grow thin and may not flower. The ideal times for the plant to receive sunlight are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during warm months and from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during cooler months. If necessary, it can handle some afternoon shade, but needs to receive at least 4 hours of direct sun each day to stay healthy, flowering and blooming.
pruning
Speedwell should be pruned in early spring before any major growth begins. It should be pruned to remove any dead, damaged, or diseased shoots. Any weak or overcrowded branches should also be pruned to allow for better air circulation. The speedwell should be lightly pruned, taking no more than a third of the entire bush. Cutting back too much could damage the plant.
